"We feel extremely lucky to have chosen Grant to build our new beach house and would highly recommend him for any building project.

In 2008 we removed our old beach house at Omaha Beach and built a new home on the same site.

Grant's management of all aspects of the project, from removal of the old house through construction and completion of the new home was totally professional.

The house is constructed in a combination of painted weatherboards, concrete block and cedar with references to more traditional beach houses but with strong modern lines on an elevated site. From the initial stages, every aspect of the project was well planned, achieving timing guidelines and budgets. The workmanship of all his team is of the highest standard and all showed genuine attention to all details in order to ensure a high quality and long lasting finish.

Grant kept us informed on all aspects of progress regularly and always communicated any perceived requirements or changes needing to be made in processes, materials or budgeting.

All these outstanding qualities meant that this project was in no way stressful and actually very enjoyable.

We are thrilled with our new home, would very much recommend Grant to anyone contemplating a building project and are very happy to be contacted for references."

"We both would unhesitatingly recommend Grant Sutherland for any building project whatever the size and scale.

Grant built and project managed our house construction in Omaha in 2007/08.

The house design was complicated, challenging and required much attention to detail and careful finishing. Construction was concrete block/plaster, cedar battening and cedar joinery. From start to finish Grant managed the workmanship and project professionally, calmly and always to the very high standard we required. His quality control was impressive and his organisational skills outstanding. The financial side of the project ran efficiently and smoothly adding to a very stress free exercise.

Grant was always available and very personable to work with, nothing was ever too much for him to consider and/or solve. His workmanship, as well as that of his team, has resulted in the beautifully finished home we have today of which we are so proud.

It is with sincere thanks to Grant this has been achieved. We would both be very willing to be contacted for a verbal recommendation if required."
